Hi Dave:

I did post a corrected url immediately after the original, but thanks
for picking it up as well.

The Caterpillar 1Y73 is indeed a single-cylinder research diesel
engine for testing fuels and lubricants.

We have a pair in captivity:

or on the UK site:

The Onan hasn't run yet, we are waiting for some exhaust flanges to be
laser cut so we can make a new exhaust manifold stub for it.

It looks pretty good, we hope to have it running during next week.
